Heirloom corn was typically dried for later use and stone grinding, or was fresh-roasted. The corn of many Native Peoples of the Americas is called "Flint Corn," because to the natives it was as hard as flint, whereas the dried corn used by migrated Europeans has been called "Dent Corn," largely because once dried it tends to have a dent on the top of the kernels. They share the same category since they are all used for cornmeal.
More than 90% of modern-day, USA-grown corn is GMO-engineered and has a number for a name! That fact reminds me of the 1964 "Secret Agent Man" TV show, the title song by Johnny Rivers: 
"They've given you a number, oh they've taken away your name..."

My corn is nearly all heirloom and it all has a name. No numbers, no GMOs, no seed death genes.
